Promoters hope it'll show that live concerts can resume safely

Promoters in Barcelona are staging a 5,000 person indoor concert this evening, with no seating or social distancing.

It's part of a test to see how effective same-day Covid-19 screenings are in preventing outbreaks at large events.

People who attend will have to wear masks though, and get an antigen test before they go.

Promoters are hoping it'll help make their case to Spanish health officials that live concerts can resume safely.

The event is the largest indoor rock concert to take place on the continent since the pandemic began.

The concert will take place in Barcelona and feature Spanish rock group Love of Lesbian.
